To keep this article fun and interactive, after each Go code provided, you will find a link to the Go Playground, where you can run it without installing Go on your machine. Put your adventure helmets on!

However, knowing how to implement basic procedures is not only a good programming exercise but will give you the ability to tweak things to your liking. In this article, we will see how to implement basic image processing tools from scratch using Python.
